Mo Walker may have the skill set like a Jared Sullinger perhaps, with the touch near the rim and whatnot, but his weight really holds him back. I hope he can get that down so he can be a true beast out there for the next three years. Tubby's been big upping Eliason since early on, so there's something there he likes.

I agree with Monty on this. Losing another 30 lbs would also take stress off the knee. I really agree those guys have potential, and Mo Walker makes as good decisions with the basketball, or better, than either of the juniors. If he would weigh about 270, he would really be a load.
Elliason, has better natural offensive moves around the basket than either of the juniors. I don't know about his rebounding and he needs to get a lot stronger, but he will be able to score.

Article said he lost 35 pounds and is under 300 now. Pretty impressive to lose weight on crutches.
